Old Influence

The people that influence are lives the most are often the people we care about the most. The person who has inspired me most to do my best in design is not a designer. In fact, she may not even fully understand what graphic design is. None the less she has encouraged me to succeed my entire life with deep wisdom. She shares her 82 years of knowledge through stories both tragic and inspirational and listens without judgement. I have a peaceful life, free to pursue my dreams, never starving or at war. She makes me grateful for my life. I am fortunate enough to not have to worry about or live through many of the situations she has. Yet with all that her life has brought to her she is not bitter and rarely complains. She wishes the best for everyone. She makes me want to be the best person I can. Morally I hope to be just like her and I will succeed to make her proud.
